Now Chelsea have beaten Newcastle, they can turn their attention to a massive Champions League game on the horizon in Amsterdam.
Frank Lampard’s rapidly improving team must head to the home of last season’s semi finalists Ajax and try to win in order to retake control of their group.
The home team won at the weekend against RKC Waalwijk, but it was an uphill battle, and their captain Daley Blind wasn’t happy with the performance when interviewed after.
The clip here is in Dutch, but the translation is more or less that Ajax played their worst game of the season.

Euronews reported his quotes as follows:
“I think it was our worst match in the last two years… It was nice to win this kind of horribly bad game. That’s what it’s about. But we must look at ourselves and ensure this can never happen again.”
Well they do have high standards over there. And we can expect them to bounce back from this… win. But maybe this is just the sign that this team is starting to miss the top tier stars who left this summer.
